Tractorman810 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 yeah but i always find them, baffels me why they do it to be honest, they always had a rule that they took the most direct route,so prob down to that, nowadays they are made to follow roads / tracks where ever possible, ,seen some crazy routes down here across the moors,must have taken ages to put them up as you wouldn't have got the lorry to them thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
